This is a song that I wrote for my wife yesterday, and the reason being, last Saturday afternoon, I was at work and started having severe chest pains, and the supervisor called an ambulance. The paramedic said that the ekg read abnormal so they ran lights and siren all the way to the hospital about 25 miles away. They ran a marathon of tests on me and kept me for observation. Sunday they were getting ready to discharge me, and all of a sudden I got real hot, and told the nurse I felt like I was going to pass out, and I did, right into cardiac arrest. She called Code Blue and started CPR, and after a few minutes, I came back. She said she couldn't understand how I came to so quickly, but I do, my wife was steadily praying, and God heard her prayers. You're Always By My Side https://soundcloud.com/ronniefields/youre-always-by-my-sideThe day that we got married, the day we said I do, I knew you were the one for me, and that our love is true. It’s been so many years now, with a feeling deep inside, I know that you are with me, you’re always by my side. Chorus: You’re always by my side, don’t ever let me go, my feelings I can’t hide, Girl I love you so. We have a bond together, it cannot be denied, forever for eternity, you’re always by my side. God put us together, there’s no denying that, we have been through thick and thin, our love is where it’s at. As we grow old together, knowing our love will never die, for as long as I have you, you’re always by my side. Repeat Chorus:

Hi, Ronnie. Yow! That's a heck of a story! I'm glad you're still with us. Given that they apparently didn't find anything actionable after the tests and you still had another episode, hopefully they'll keep looking until they find something. One thing that always strikes me about your songs is how solidly the harmonic and melodic construction is. Love that Db chord! I liked it so much, I grabbed a copy of the audio with Audacity and using deCoda just to figure out what you were doing there. Nice arrangement, honest and heartfelt lyrics and vocals. Really well done! It's always a pleasure to listen to your music.

So sorry to hear about your medical problems - but so glad to hear you're already and on the mend, and even back to writing music already! The song is absolutely lovely and I bet she loves it. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Ember

Aww. I must have been chopping a lot of onions of late. Such a beautiful, sensitive song - perfect. Your voice communicates simply but clearly and emotionally a superb write. The bridge is understated and beautiful. The melody just flows. The way you sing it - few, few people can carry a song like this like that.
Praying for you - hopefully, this is the last of your current brushes with bad health. Enough such drama :-) - hope you'll get back to writing and singing songs like this one. Thank you so much for sharing this one.

Mr. Fields...
"My feelings I can’t hide..." Well, sir, there's no doubt in my mind (and heart) that, indeed, you couldn't hide your feelings for your dear wife even if you tried. I was totally, completely absorbed in the emotion you released from your soul in this recording. It's a poignant listening experience, especially considering the medical crisis you so narrowly avoided. What a testimonial to the power of true love, and faith, too! As many forum members have often said about other songs they've listened to here on the User's Forum, "This one's a keeper." I think this 'true-blue' song deserves a much larger audience, and I hope you get it.

Oh, what a great song, Ronnie. I'm still feeling the goose bumps. What a harrowing story and a beautiful ending. Your song and the emotion in your voice makes us want to send love and spiritual hugs to your wife. See to it, as I'm sure you will.

Wow, what a story. I can't believe you went through so much just a few days ago and now you are singing the praises of your loving wife. That's faith, for sure.
I'm glad you are here. Welcome back (sort of speak).

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
